Ah, I actually thought you might have gotten smart and put some solar panels up added a few batteries and use the genset to just equalize the batteries. Plenty of real estate on the roof for at least 4kw.
ive got 3 315 watt panels up there and 500ah agms for the house batteries need more just waitin for some to fall in my lap !

12V, 24V or 48V?
12 v So the truck has 8k gen / solar / 2800 w inverter/charger /shore power / truck So with truck running can charge house batteries to run/makr elct while going down the road or idleing ! solar 12v charging house and truck batteries ! generator to do all those things and shore power will do all those things so my thought if any 1 thing go down u have 3 more to cover you so redundancy is the name of the game !

If I did one I would lift the roof. Mine was a beverage truck I cut half of it down and welded a pedestal on the back to hold the camper fabricated the doors and all. Had 4k worth of panels, 6kW inverter, 12kW dual fuel genset, 880Ah worth of batteries (8 GC’s) @24VDC, 300 gallons of diesel onboard, 200 gallons of water and 15 gallons of bourbon on tap ;) Yeah I towed my car too.
Going to make my 5 ton outfitted to do this in the future.IMG_0464.jpegIMG_0695.jpeg
